Gabriel García Márquez, the 85-year-old Colombian writer known as the father of magical realism, underwent a miraculous resurrection this week after a Twitter account claiming to be that of Italian author Umberto Eco wrote “Gabriel García Márquez dies. I received the news now from New York.” As word spread from the account’s 2,000 followers to the general public, various people connected to the Nobel prize-winning author of One Hundred Years of Solitude countered that “Gabo” was alive and well.
